A grotesque, high-energy comedy-thriller that revels in surreal body horror and absurdist satire, trapping wealthy protagonists in a nightmarish small-town hellscape ruled by a monstrous judge.

While attempting to seduce gorgeous lawyer Diane Lightson, wealthy gadabout Chris Thorne agrees to drive her to Atlantic City, N.J. But, when some reckless driving draws the attention of a deeply critical cop, they and the flamboyant "Brazillionaires" who tagged along end up in the court of a grotesque and vengeful judge, who has a special vendetta against the wealthy and erudite.
